Anyone had problems eating Kale?

In mid-December, I decided to start adding kale to my egg-white veggie omelettes.
I had never eaten kale before. Problem is, I added about 3 cups of it to my omelettes
for three consecutive days. A couple of days later, my digestive system was thrown
out of whack. Constant burping, mild stomach discomfort, and a gurgling sound that
had never been there before ensued. Those symptoms have subsided somewhat, but
my digestive system is still not back to normal. Anyone else had any issues with kale?

Had you been eating 3 cups of ANY fibrous vegetables daily, prior to adding it to your omelette?3

I'm good with spinach, broccoli, green beans, asparagus. My usual omelette would include a combo
of mushrooms, green peppers, and broccoli or spinach (sometimes both). I had never eaten kale before
and was pretty heavy handed with what I added.0 -

Did you cook it a bit before you added it? It can be a bit heavy.
I was asking because many folks find that adding a lot of greens causes initial...distress.0 -
I did cook it for a few minutes before adding it. No initial distress, but I haven't been the same since.0

I find kale rather like Brussels sprouts or dark green cabbage...A little goes a long way. Although it didn't bother me if juiced.0
